Mexico finish third on goal difference behind Poland, who lost 2-0 to Group C winners Argentina. After their stunning victory over Lionel Messi' Argentina in the first match, Saudi Arabia's journey in the tournament ended with them bottom of the standings following successive defeats to Poland and Mexico. "The result does not reflect the reality of the match, as we deserved to lose by more goals had it not been for Al Owais," Renard told a news conference. "He saved us in the third minute and we couldn't handle Mexico's intensity and enthusiasm in the duels. "We suffered physically, and we had to adapt to the injury of defender Ali Al Bulaihi. Mexico were the better team, and we knew that they would play aggressively in order to score more goals to qualify for the next round."
